Ocean Books & Art will host an art opening reception 6-9 p.m. Friday, June 7, for Joe Campanellie, who will present his first exhibit of avian photography in Northeast Florida. The reception at 200 S. Oceanshore Blvd., in Flagler Beach, is open to the public, and refreshments will be served.
Titled “Passion’s Journey,” the show will remain as the featured collection through June, while additional pieces will be displayed at least through August.
Campanellie’s images are permanently displayed at the Photographer’s International Hall of Fame, in Oklahoma City. He has had his work on display at the Epcot Exhibit, in Orlando, and internationally through the Professional Photographers of America’s International Loan Collection.
Also opening Friday night, Ocean Art Gallery will present the oil paintings of Richard Hausen.
Hausen’s maritime art illustrates his bold personal style, with bright colors and strong brush strokes, often on rough textured materials which add a rustic feel to his paintings. His portrait paintings capture the special essence of those who sit for him.
Hausen is one of four resident artists at Ocean Art Gallery, where the work of Bob Carlsen, Krystyna Madejczyk and Rob Carlton will also be on display.
